Corporate centrists were rejected in 2016... so lets do it again!!


They just can't help themselves. their entire structure is threatened by an outsider so they will dow whatever to shut it down.

americas know their system is corrupt and broken. yet for the establishment everything works perfectly! they are rich , their friends are, and their dogs in the media get the scraps and stay comfortable.

"Corporate centrists were rejected in 2016"

Not true! Trump is a corporate centrist and was elected in 2016. He pretends to be pro-working class, but he's not.

Bernie's not an outsider! He's been a Washington political insider for decades. He was a Congressman for 16 years! He's been a Senator for 14 years! Obviously, he's part of the political establishment.

He has raised over $367 million dollars during his political career. Some of that money came from large corporations like Walmart, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Boeing. And he took money from PACs!

He complains about the rich, but he's worth $2.5 million. He's part of the top 5%.

Bernie is a democratic socialist. They are against all private businesses. They are anti-capitalism. But, that hasn't stopped Bernie from taking millions from private companies. Talk about hypocrisy.

Don't confuse what Bernie supports with governments in Sweden or Norway which are Socialist democracies. Huge difference! They actually believe in capitalism with plenty of private businesses along with strong protections for employees.

Bernie is as much a populist as Trump! And his followers have been conned as much as Trump's. Two peas in a pod!

Well, if you and I had invested in Apple, Amazon or had the gumption to start a business in our garage (Bezos) we would be wealthy also.

MAGA = Microsoft, Apple, Google & Amazon

BTW, I have a feeling you own a mobile phone, laptop and/or some type of tablet.
